I am new to this group, and I have a 1992 FJ 1200 (non ABS) with a tach problem.
It reads about twice what it supposed to read most of the time, once in a while it will act normal for no reason I that I can tell.
More recently I have had a few issues with the carb's from sitting and plan a cleaning and rebuild, and doubt there is any connection between the two, just thought I would mention the carb issue in case there is.
I plan on doing the carb's very soon, recovering from a broken left foot that kept me off of two wheels last season, and am really looking forward to riding again!
Any ideas about the Tach? I have heard everything from a bad ground (not sure where to look) and possibly a bad ignition module.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts and advice.

I had this issue pre-overhaul... as we went through the rebuild (see "removed her heart" thread), the grounding at the coils was a focus (the bolt that goes through both coils and the frame... make sure it is all clean and a low ohm contact). I'm not sure this was what fixed it, but I have not had the problem post rebuild. Pre rebuild the bolt was rusty and the connection probably poor... it had not gotten any attention whatsoever.

Frank,
Thank you for the reply, I will be checking it out the very next chance I get.
Fingers crossed!
